Hi Alex:

The PLplot windows developers are beginning to try libltdl now but they have
run into an issue which is it is available on Cygwin but doesn't seem to be 
widely available in binary form on bare windows platforms.  The obvious
solution is to build it internally. When KDE used this library was that the
option chosen? If so, could you point me to the CMake files used to build
libltdl? That would save our project some time since I assume there are lots
of platform-dependent linking issues (since libltdl is simply a wrapper with
uniform API for whatever platform library is used to do dynamic loading).

Thanks in advance,

Alan
